"The Yell" is an expressionist piece and is reminiscent of the scream by Edvard Munch. It depicts a distressed figure tuning away from calamity and personal problems. This was painted during a turbulent time in the artist's life and captures emotion and chaos which may have been taking place internally. This piece is painted in a crude way which further underlines the crudeness of people and human nature.
